A new way to share the joy of jewelry making

Do you know someone who needs to discover the beauty of beading?

Here at Facet and Bead&Button magazine, one of our missions is to invite new people into the jewelry-making community that we love so much. We also know a lot of people who had to set their beads aside when life got a little too busy, and we want to give them a reason to jump back in.

That’s one reason we’re so excited about the FACET JEWELRY BOX. It’s the perfect way to get started beading -- or get started again.

Imagine getting a box in the mail each month with EVERYTHING you need to complete two finished pieces of jewelry. That includes all the beads, wire, clasps, and findings, plus complete how-to instructions with photos and patterns — in full color. All you need are the tools! Sit back, settle in, and enjoy this great opportunity to create something beautiful.

When you subscribe to the Facet Jewelry Box (or give it as a gift), you’ll have two different boxes to choose from: The Quick & Easy Stringing Box or the The Bead Stitching Box. A new box will be delivered to your doorstep once per month with not one but TWO surprise beading projects.

Each set of project instructions is tested by a member of the Bead&Button staff, so you can be certain that you’re receiving clear, accurate instructions from trusted jewelry-making experts. Everything arrives monthly in a beautiful, sturdy box (which you can re-use to store more beads!). And not only do you get the convenience of receiving all the supplies and instructions you need, you’ll pay much less than you would if you were to purchase all the supplies separately. What a deal!

Each project comes with a full-color, step-by-step instruction booklet that is edited by the staff of Bead&Button magazine.

You can sign up today during our special pre-launch period and be the first to get your hands on our inaugural subscription boxes. By reserving your spot early, you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing to win a full year’s subscription (that's 12 free boxes containing everything you need to make 24 projects!). And if you refer a friend, there will be even more perks and rewards!

We're still finalizing the details and sourcing the very best beads that we can find, so you can't buy a subscription box just yet. Instead, once you reserve your spot you'll receive a survey where you can tell us what you'd like to see in future boxes. In just a few weeks you'll have the chance to choose a subscription box option. Gift subscriptions will be available at different price points to match your holiday shopping budget.

So think about that person in your knitting group or book club who would love to bead. Or maybe you have a creative friend or family member who hasn’t tried to make jewelry yet. Your daughter, granddaughter, niece or cousin might just love to spend the winter learning from us (and from you!) the joys of creating something handmade.
